Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Swings Onto Switch Next Year

Please allow us to remap the controls! Motion Control tied to important actions on Wii and two of the preset controls on 3DS was awful! Making the circle pad required to move instead of the directional pad for a 2D platformer.. what were they thinking?? If we can remap the controls to something close to the DKC trilogy, that would be ideal!

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Saw a lot of examples of translations by people compared to the localization and I have to say it's the worst localized dialogue to be seen. They've inserted out of place words and names from deep internet spaces like 'chud' of all things; yeah, it's that bad. It’s like if you wrote “based” or “poggers” into a script. What's worse is that all other languages save for Chinese use the English script as a foundation for their translation, so yes, I'm avoiding this. Sad that once again, a game's script is butchered by localization.

@Joeynator3000 @PikminMarioKirby If the original can run at 60 I don't see why the remake can't either. Plus, it will mess with the timing of super guard and the other action commands. Not prioritizing the framerate in a game where timed attacks are everything seems very backwards to me. Having half the framerate that the 20 year old original has would be a real bummer if it ends up being part of the final game. 60 FPS looks better and feels more responsive. Anything you're used to will be laggy instead.

@Yosher "But I mean that makes sense when one team sweeps the battles, I guess"

I sense doubt. The team with the more skilled players who win more absolutely deserve the win. Team Frye should win by their merits alone and get better. Not win just cause, or if they haven't so long. Maybe she'll have a chance when Nintendo gives her the least popular choice so there's less casuals losing for her.

Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Vs. Donkey Kong Takes Its Fight To The Top

@Gryffin I agree with you on a certain level, but come on.. 'cost almost nothing to make'? Remake added remixed tunes, 2 brand new worlds, altered existing stage layouts, bonus stages are entirely new, CGI cutscenes that look better than the Mario Movie even all makes the original look like an early tech demo. All of that ain't cheap.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

@Spider-Kev It's a small thing, but censorship is still censorship. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. The fact is when they said it was unaltered, they lied to every purchaser who is subjected to the warning splash screen upon start-up. I'd maybe understand if they were aiming for T rating, but the collection is M rating.

Re: New Princess Peach: Showtime! Trailer Reveals Four New Outfit Transformations

@HeadPirate This isn't Nintendo or the lead producer of the product or Miyamoto going back & forth with the artists, it's an outside team on the same payroll made up to influence with their own vision what they think is best for the western market, that's the difference. Treehouse is dictating the content of Japanese games while they're mid-development.

I'm not advocating change. Where have I said, 'unwanted, change this or else'? I humorously pointed out a blatant check box they met with purposely covering up one specific part of her body in all possible scenarios. We don't know all the facts, but the pattern has got me theorizing why they made an effort to bundle her up. It's not that deep.

Re: New Princess Peach: Showtime! Trailer Reveals Four New Outfit Transformations

@HeadPirate I've already addressed your point; the decision of opaque tights they went with is a form of hiding legs. If it shown the skintone underneath I wouldn't consider it cover up.

Are we really on the same page? I'm not advocating for Censorship whatsoever. I abhor it. You have a misunderstanding that I'm pro censorship. Quite the opposite.

It's a known fact, publicly stated by Nintendo theirselves that they send a team from the NoA and NoE branch to Japan routinely to 'consult' with the devs current projects on ideas of censoring or further 'westernizing' material during development. Even at the source level where localizers tell Japanese devs how to change the Japanese version so there is NO uncensored version and they can release games simultaneously. These teams are parasites. Infectious. Now the Japanese games suffer.

"But I'm also not going to tell Nintendo to change the art they have chosen to create, or tell the people who appreciate that direction they are wrong or bad people.

That's what respecting creative content actually looks like."

That's exactly what Nintendo pays teams to do at the source.

@ArcadianLegend99 Bayonetta doesn't show leg so that was a poor suggestion. A better one would be any Mario Tennis or Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games where her legs are in full view. I just find it fascinating that not one transformation where'd it make sense to having Peach show skin there, does. When did showing leg become so blasphemous, sacrilege in gaming media all of a sudden, it's a natural part of the body that shouldn't always be covered up. It feels forced here and I'm calling it out.

Re: Splatoon 3 'Fresh Season 2024' Brings New Weapons, Stages & Gear To The Splatlands

AlexanderDaniels

@vio Well I informed you why the season is lacking compared to previous ones and it seems like you understand now. A single player mode expansion that has been worked on through all the seasons in the background that doesn't release along with the next Season to boot isn't related. I believe it's because we're nearing the end of the promised free updates. I hope you get your money's worth out of Side Order, however.
